But Americans are peculiar people, and do not buy a pound of
sugar any the quicker because its bulk has been raised by a skilful
admixture of moisture and sand. So it seems best partly to take the
advice of the Bellman, in the "Hunting of the Snark," to skip sundry
years. In resuming, it is to find Peter at his desk, reading a letter.
He has a very curious look on his face, due to the letter, the contents
of which are as follows:
MARCH 22.
DEAR OLD CHUM--
Here is the wretched old sixpence, just as bad as ever--if not
worse--come back after all these years.
And as of yore, the sixpence is in a dreadful pickle, and appeals
to the old chum, who always used to pull him out of his scrapes,
to do it once more. Please come and see me as quickly as possible,
for every moment is important. You see I feel sure that I do not
appeal in vain. "Changeless as the pyramids" ought to be your
motto.
Helen and our dear little girl will be delighted to see you, as
will
Yours affectionately,
WATTS.
